Chapter 820: Recognizing Relatives (9)
In retrospect, it makes sense. According to the memories her daughter received, Xiu Xun became a winner in life in her previous life, reaping great rewards in both career and love, which wouldn’t have been possible without such depth.
After all, the Jiang Family was not a good place...
"Mom?" Ruan Jiaojiao saw that Shu Jie had no reaction after listening and tugged at the hem of her clothes.
Shu Jie suddenly came back to her senses and said to her, "He’s probably just thanking our family for giving him the opportunity to work and earn money." She then immediately changed the subject, "Your grandma said the weather will change tomorrow, wear this coat." As she spoke, she placed the clothes she had cleared out onto the chair beside her.
Watching Shu Jie’s retreating figure as she left the room, Ruan Jiaojiao puffed her cheeks, flipped over, and settled into bed to sleep. She had always been at ease; since they all wanted her to act like a clueless baby, then she would be that baby, fitting perfectly with her determination to be just a little rice weevil.

Xiu Xun didn’t come back until late yesterday evening, which scared Jiang Bin badly. He didn’t allow him to return to the Xiu Family that night and instead took him to the guest house to stay together.
He wanted to have a long conversation with Xiu Xun by candlelight, but Xiu Xun was just like a silent gourd and refused to say anything.

But from the afternoon on, he started waiting for Xiu Xun to finish school, afraid that he would run off again without a word, which would be incredibly frustrating.
